How to Deposit

Only authenticated users can deposit items. If you cannot find your home organisation in the
Login dialog list of organisations then register at clarin.eu
and authenticate using "clarin.eu website account". In case you cannot use any authentication method above or
if you encounter a problem, do not hesitate to
contact our Help Desk and we can create a local account for you.

Selecting files will open a dialog box, where you can enter the description of each file. To begin the file upload
click 'Start Upload'.

Once the file(s) upload is done, press OK to close the dialog box. You can add more files or delete/modify the already uploaded ones,
after you finish press Next to continue with the License selection.

Step 6: Select Licenses

If you uploaded at least one file, you must select
a license under which you want your resources to be distributed in this step (data without
license is unusable because a user does not know how can he/she use it!).
Please read the Distribution agreement carefully
and click the red box to indicate your agreement (it will turn green).

Select the appropriate license from the dropdown list, if you already have decided on the license;

or use the OPEN License Selector, which will help you choose by asking few questions about the submission and your requirements

If none of the licenses suits your needs contact our
Help Desk.

For datasets that require license signing

While we prefer open data and open source software, we understand it is not always possible.
We can ensure that users must authenticate and sign a license in order to download your data
(see Restricted Submissions).
If you need more information about the users than the fact that they authenticated via a
university (or similar), we can ask for some specific attributes similar to standard
web forms. This makes sense mostly for data with "no redistribution" clause in their license.

Click Next to continue.

Step 7: Leave a note

You can leave a note for the reviewer in this step.

Step 8: Review your submission

In this step you will review your submission before submitting it. Review page contains a sub-review panel for each of the
step you have filled in before. If you want to change any field in a particular step just click Correct one of these and it will
take you directly to the particular step page. Once you verify all the detail, submission can be made by clicking Complete Submission
or you can click Save & Exit to save the submission for continue working on it later.

Step 9: Submit

Once you click the Complete Submission in the review step, item will be submitted for the reviewing by the editors. Once
the editors approve the item it will appear in the repository. In case of any query regarding the submission, editors will contact
you for the further detail.
